🤠 Wyoming has a strong cowboy tradition. Rodeo, a sport where cowboys (and cowgirls!) demonstrate skills such as horse riding, calf roping, and steer wrestling, is so important to the state that it is Wyoming's official state sport.
☀️🌧️ Weather Talk
Americans love talking about the weather! In fact, weather is one of the most common topics for small talk. Different regions have their own weather-related expressions, making it a fun cultural topic to explore in the classroom. The weather in Wyoming can be very volatile and is a great way to strike up a conversation with natives! 
🎲 Classroom Activity: Have students imagine they are visiting Yellowstone or attending a rodeo and role-play a conversation with a tourist guide.
